April 2025 - The power of non-attachment

Non-attachment: Why it’s so powerful and how to practice it

I've been practicing some form of minimalism since 2010. I was in college, moving at least once a year, and my physical stuff had become such a burden I decided to get rid of almost all of it. What was left could fit into a suitcase and a carry-on. It was incredible. 

Moving became a breeze, but there were other benefits I hadn’t even stopped to think about. The most immediate one: the savings. Up until that point, shopping was my favorite activity. I lived downtown, the shops were on my doorstep, and I must have been buying something small ($5-$15), what feels like every other day. Now, instead of buying little things, I was able to save up and buy more meaningful things like experiences and higher quality items. 

On top of that, keeping my space tidy and clutter free became automatic. I’ve always been a tidy person, but all the clutter was hidden away in boxes and drawers stuffed to the brim. Now, even the boxes and drawers were tidy, and not because of any effort on my part, there just wasn’t any stuff there. I became so much more present because I wasn’t worried about managing my stuff or how to pay for (or even adjust to) unexpected situations. The peace that practicing minimalism created in my space, wallet, mind, and energy had me hooked. 

But something more powerful was happening underneath:

A Personal Project

I’m working on a side project and I’d love your help:

I’m looking for people who have bought digital media outright (like audiobooks, ebooks, and music) on platforms like Audible, Apple Books, iTunes, and Google Play, but are not happy with their experience of managing and accessing their digital stuff. 

This could be for a variety of reasons like being locked into the platform, wanting to distance yourself from certain companies, privacy concerns, and being frustrated by things like invasive recommendations and storefront (just to name a few).

If this sounds like you, and you’ve got a couple of minutes to spare, I’d love to hear your thoughts:
